About The Position

Amazon Accounting is seeking a self-driven, highly organized, customer-focused Executive Assistant to support the VP of AWS & Digital. This high impact role requires exceptional planning and communication skills. In addition to being an important partner to the AWS & Digital leadership team, this role serves as lead to a small team of EAs and coordinates frequently with EAs across Finance. You will understand leader and team priorities, demonstrate the ability to proactively anticipate needs, and drive improvements that build capacity for the leadership team.

Clear written and verbal communication is a must, as is a comprehensive understanding of the organization, leadership team structure, and business partner/stakeholder roles.

As the lead EA of this team, this role partners with the leadership team and their EAs to foster a process-driven, efficient, and inclusive environment. Experience hiring and developing EAs is required. You must operate as part of the broader Accounting EA team, building effective relationships with peers, stakeholders, and partners inside and outside the group while maintaining a comprehensive knowledge of business objectives to support team and org-wide goals. A thorough grasp of organizational procedures and best practices that drive operational efficiency is essential.
